personally, i use noteworthy.

I know two people, one professional and the other going to be professional, who compose - i believe they both use finale.

I've tried Sibelius, Finale and Noteworthy Composer and my favourite is Noteworthy. The are some features that took me a long time to figure out.

I'm cheap. I'm using Finale Notepad 2007. It's not bad, and it's free, but it's not great. The midi lab at my college has the professional version of Finale, and it's a lot nicer.

I used to use Noteworthy, and it's a decent programme as far as it goes. Has a useful user forum and a free version that's fairly comprehensive if you don't mind the watermarks.

However, I invested in Sibelius 3 last year. Haven't used it much yet and I'm still learning, but it's quite user-friendly and versatile if you have the money to spend on it - which isn't so much now, I think, because there's a newer version out.

I use Finale Notepad 2007. I know I'm going the cheap route, but I'm in high school, so what do you expect.

I used Noteworthy for a long time, until I started writing for handbells and harp. Now I find Sibelius (I have version 4) essential... I can mark lever changes, pedal changes, and with one (or two) click s, create a bells needed chart. I love it!

Not to mention the ability to export Scorch pages for my website, so people can preview the music! It's a pretty neat tool: www.monikadurbin.com/formiapress

I use Sibelius and Finale - they both are great, but also expensive.

Hm. I prefer sibelius, but finale's OKAY but it's not that great for composing complex pieces. I think a very versatile one is actually Guitar Pro, but you need to write out all of the parts in guitar tablature.

well to reply to what the person above me said, you dont need to use guitar tab to use guitar pro. a midi board works just as well. but if u dont have one u can hide the tablature(like i do) and just use the standard notation. i like guitar pro better than finale,but ive never tried noteworthy. I should look into it

It's free? Mine says it's a "30 - day trial", but I've used it for much more than that... Noteworthy composer is a good way to do it, although I can never find how to do the trills and little embelishments like that.
